UNDERWATER FANTASY VIII

Photographs digitally manipulated and then put together in layers and collages on my digital drawing board. Finally I have made some further manipulating to make this image emerge. I truly love to let my imagination work mostly on its own, when I am creating these images, and it always brings me great pleasure and excitement, when I'm in my creative mode!

Tussila Spring Fine art

NOTE: IF YOU PURCHASE PRINTS FROM MY GALLERY, HALF OF MY EARNINGS WILL GO TO "SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGES". I AM ALREADY SUPPORTING THIS GREAT ORGANIZATION, AND I WOULD BE VERY THANKFUL IF YOU WOULD HELP ME TO HELP THEM!

About me: I have chosen my pen/artist name to be Tussila Spring, for the following reasons:Although I am fighting complex ptsd/dissociation disorder on a daily bases, I wish to see myself as one of the earliest spring flowers, because it always pops up again when the days get warmer and lighter, no matter how long and harsh the winter has been. The common name is colts foot, the Latin name is Tussilago farfara. Even if my syndrome means that I am almost entirely isolated for most of the time, making art is very rewarding for me. Whenever I sit down to be creative, it is as if I am sending my brain on a vacation. I rarely make a plan before starting, mostly I just let my fingers and eyes work together on their own, if this makes sense to you. I love it when I find new color combinations, and when I play with patterns and shapes. Also I love it when I find some light in my images, it is as if the light reminds me of the light spots in myself, even if there is a lot of darkness there too, as it is in the world around me as well. I am aware of the dark, but I am always searching for the light in my images.I hope you will find some light too, viewing my gallery. I hope you too will let your mind fantasize about our surroundings, how we see them, and how we would like to see them. Finally, I hope you too will allow yourself to stay childlike curious, and that you will search for the light spots in your own life!
